ClarkeHopkinsClarke is on Zenith’s front page & the Australian Design Review for winning the Best Corporate Top Hats Design at Zenith Showroom Opening on 11 March 2010. To express our commitment to the environment, our top hats were actually upcycled from the invitation posters of the opening party. Each hat was made with only two A3 sheets with zero excess scrap created in the process. They were also constructed using a pleating technique (similar to that commonly used by Issey Miyake) so that they were expandable to fit different sized heads! This origami construction technique has been around for many years and we are proud to have used it to create some eco-fashion.
To celebrate our win, we would like to share with you the instructions for these origami top hats! You can make one too with your own office trash paper!
To make each hat unique, we have decorated them with origami cranes, lilies, roses, paper planes and even ninja stars!
